192 Words1 Page

The idea of segregating racial minorities into crowded residential areas is a reality, which influences lower socioeconomic standings and limits equality to health. Institutionalized racism serves to seemingly brand and constrain upward movements of success in society. Many of the schools, including junior high and high school, located in minority filled communities are limited in their educational merit and do not instill and prepare for higher education and advanced opportunities in employment (Williams & Collins, 2001). Residentially segregated schools are said to fall short in areas of teacher quality and educational resources (Williams & Collins, 2001). The schools themselves have less funds per student and are surrounded in high neighborhood

    Though Kozol’s article is not based solely on numbers and data as much as it is on his emotional experiences, he still includes the percentages of public school enrollment in specific areas. He introduces his article by listing all those numbers “to convey how deeply isolated children in the poorest and most segregated sections of [those] cities have become” even with those types of statistics listed (Kozol 348). In Chicago, with “87 percent of public school enrollment [being] black or Hispanic” students of these minorities are still isolated and segregated. (Kozol 348).

This practice was prevalent in the mid-20th century in the United States, and its effects can still be seen today in the form of segregated neighborhoods and disparities in wealth and opportunity. Based on academic performance, graduation rates, and student diversity, East Irondequoit High School in Rochester, NY surpasses Monroe High School, indicating that it is a more effective and inclusive institution for secondary education. Therefore, comparing the two schools can provide insights into the impacts of historical redlining on present-day educational inequality.

In fact, the act violated many rights we value today. They abused the First Nations by taking away their right to vote, forcing them to give up their legal identities and treaty rights, not consulting the First Nations on agreements that concerned them and by introducing the Residential School system.. Firstly, until 1960 the First Nations had to give up their legal identities and treaty rights
